1932 Buick Model 56C Convertible Coupe	1932 Buick Model 56C Convertible Coupe 41,800.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: RM Auction - Vintage Motor Cars at Meadow Brook Hall August 6, 2005, Auburn Hills, Michigan RM Auctions One Classic Car Drive Blenheim, Ontario N0P 1A0 Canada Phone: 519-352-4575 Website: www.rmauctions.com 1932 Buick Model 56C Convertible Coupe LOT: 109 Estimate: $35,000-$45,000 US Chassis No. 200781 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $41,800 82.5hp 230.4 cu. in. inline overhead valve eight-cylinder engine, five-main bearings, two-bbl Marvel carburetor, three-speed sliding gear, synchromesh transmission, free-wheeling Wizard Control transmission and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 114" By 1932 Buick had firmly established itself as a builder of stylish, reliable cars. In 1932 a Buick powered racing car finished 11th at the Indianapolis 500, which helped remind the public that Buicks also had good performance. Buick’s 82.5hp 230.4 cu. in., inline overhead valve eight-cylinder engine provided plenty of power and stopping was never a problem with its fourwheel mechanical brakes. As well, it was the last year for wooden spoke wheels as Buick president Irving J. Reuter had them discontinued at the end of 1932. The 1932 Buicks were easily recognized as new models when they appeared. Styling changes included new hood doors, rather than louvers, a raked windshield with no external sun visor, taillights, longer flowing fenders and a tapered radiator. Buicks were equipped with “Wizard Control” which provided owners both freewheeling and no-clutch shifting between second and third gears. Adjustable shock absorbers were standard on all Buicks. Although an older restoration, this very rare 56C Buick Convertible Coupe continues to turn heads due to its high style and desirability amongst aficionados of the marque. It remains one of the most sought after models in the 1930s Buick line. Originally priced at $1,040, the 56C Buick Convertible Coupe tempted only 630 buyers in 1932 as sales dropped dramatically due to the deepening Depression. The interior and paintwork are in very good condition with nothing requiring immediate attention before going out on the open roads. On the rear rack there is a trunk for more than enough food and drink for an old fashioned picnic. Or, be selfish and take in a round of golf at the country club. If you take a peek inside the golf door you will find a set of period golf clubs. These clubs might not improve your score, but the stir they cause out on the golf course will detract from any drives into a dreaded sand trap. Other features that will excite Buick enthusiasts include the twin side-mounted tires with metal covers and a set of amber Road King fog lamps. Nobody ever regretted buying quality or style, and this very rarely offered 56C Buick Convertible Coupe has both. by Douglas

1932 Cadillac Series 355-B Dual Cowl Phaeton	1932 Cadillac Series 355-B Dual Cowl Phaeton 137,500.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: RM Auction - Vintage Motor Cars at Meadow Brook Hall August 6, 2005, Auburn Hills, Michigan RM Auctions One Classic Car Drive Blenheim, Ontario N0P 1A0 Canada Phone: 519-352-4575 Website: www.rmauctions.com 1932 Cadillac Series 355-B Dual Cowl Phaeton LOT: 097 Estimate: $150,000-$200,000 US Chassis No. 1202559 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $137,500 115bhp 353 cu. in. V8 engine, three-speed synchromesh transmission, leaf-spring front suspension, torque tube rear axle and four-wheel vacuum-assisted mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 140" A confident nation in the late 1920s enjoyed gambling in the stock market, and investors who borrowed money to buy stocks in the bull market made fortunes on paper. Cadillac, the “Standard of the World” was also doing well. The company reached its high point of luxury in 1932 and was making great strides in styling and technical advances, while playing a significant role in advancing the golden age of American luxury automobiles. However, square-rigged styling began disappearing in 1932, and notable engineering advances became commonplace in Cadillac models. Cadillac’s bodies became longer and lower, with a stretched hood and a lesser roofline. Styling included a flat grill built into the radiator shell. Running boards curved to match the sweep of the front fenders and blended into the rear fenders that contoured into the fuel tank valance. The driver’s vision increased 30 percent. Separate body moldings were eliminated and a three-spoke steering wheel afforded easy viewing of the instrument cluster. The frame used more of a box construction and the driver could choose among a full range of ride controls by adjusting shock absorber valves. Wire wheels became standard equipment. Under the hood the 1932 model employed a “triplesilent” synchromesh transmission, the rear axle was redesigned to be lighter and stronger, and the final drive ratios were changed to reduce engine RPMs. Engineers improved the power of the V8 by 21 percent, achieved mostly from a new intake manifold design providing equal length to each cylinder and carburetor revisions. A number of other technological advances, including a mechanical fuel pump replacing a vacuum tank fuel feed, also became standard, improving performance and handling. Notable, too, Cadillac added a separate vacuum pump to operate the windshield wipers. Unfortunately, all these improvements met hard times and Cadillac production numbers fell to a mere 2,693 units in 1932 from 10,709 cars in 1931 – the lowest production numbers of the early Great Depression period. Today, however, the low production numbers for 1932 models and the technological and styling advances of the era, make this particular model one of the most desirable to the collector of American Classics. The example offered here is a very unique Cadillac in that it is an especially rare V8 Dual Cowl Phaeton and is remarkably original remaining in completely unrestored overall condition. The elegant Fisher body is mounted on the desirable 140 inch wheelbase allowing the car’s proportions to truly stand out when viewed from any angle. Discovered in New England by the legendary McGowan Brothers, it was sold to notable car collector Jim King of Berkley, Massachusetts. The Cadillac’s most recent owner is a prominent prewar East coast collector known for his keen eye and knowledge of Cadillacs and American classics. Without question, this is a time warp example and though it shows its age throughout it and is in admirable mechanical condition. The original black paintwork is matched by a black interior. With the exception of a incorrectly refinished vinyl front seat the rest of the interior is all original as is the tonneau cover, side curtains and convertible top. The car is equipped with dual side mount spares with original covers, a luggage rack and the goddess hood ornament. An exceptionally rare Cadillac factory optional driver’s side spotlight makes this car even more unique and is something almost never seen. Currently, the Cadillac shows less than 32,000 miles, which upon inspection appears to be correct from new. The dashboard also appears to retain all of its original gauges. Due to the Cadillac’s overall original appearance some conservation will undoubtedly be required to either carefully keep this car in its present condition, although the option always exists to persue a concours restoration. This Dual Cowl Phaeton represents a piece of automotive history beautifully frozen in time as nothing will replace the feel and patina of this example’s low mileage, amazingly original condition. by Douglas
